Seeing that Mogushan Palace had been cleared, Gale looked at Master Maolin, "Perhaps we should renegotiate our alliance."
Master Maolin bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have already informed Shadow Master, he will discuss this matter with you."
Gale nodded, saying no more.
He came to the dried-up lake, to a huge piece of rotten flesh, which was azeroth heart.
azeroth heart was still emitting Sha Demon and had not died out because of the destruction of the Sha Demon. Gale collected it, as it was a rare experimental material. If he could find the Old Gods' weakness from it, it would greatly increase their chances against the Old Gods.
Master Maolin said worriedly, "This item is too evil, it would be better to seal it."
Gale: "I can easily kill the Sha Demon it creates, what more can it do?"
Master Maolin was silent. Although he was still very worried, he could not refute Gale's words.
Gale wandered around Mogushan Palace. This familiar architectural style made Gale feel very close. It had been over a thousand years since he left home. He wondered what Earth looked like now. Had a thousand years passed there, or only a few days?
Shadow Master did not make Gale wait long. He had obviously also received the message of the Troll Army attacking Vale of Eternal Blossoms and quickly rushed over.
Currently, the Pandaren could be said to be troubled both internally and externally. The existence of the Mantis Shrimp forced most of their forces to guard Serpents Spine. The omnipresent Sha Demon also held them back, with the daily maintenance duties left to the monks. Therefore, when the Troll Army attacked, they couldn't deploy too many people.
The Troll Army's attack was too sudden, so their allies, the Hozen, Jinyu, and Yaungol, didn't have time to provide support. Multiple circumstances led to the current situation.
Therefore, Shadow Master urgently wanted to form an alliance with Kaldorei.
Although this might pose hidden dangers, if they didn't form an alliance, the Pandaren wouldn't even be able to overcome their current calamity.
Gale spoke frankly with Shadow Master: "After forming an alliance, we need to occupy Mogushan Palace as a stronghold. I will build a portal here, allowing reinforcements from the Kaldorei Empire to reach Pandaria as quickly as possible. Correspondingly, we will also bear responsibility. My Sun Cult is very suitable for clearing Sha Demon and can help you solve the threat of Sha Demon."
Shadow Master was pleasantly surprised, "That would be wonderful!"
Gale: "Moreover, we will also send troops to Serpents Spine to help you resist the Mantis Shrimp's attacks. This way, you won't have to stockpile heavy troops there and can rest and recuperate, allowing for development."
Shadow Master was even more delighted. The reason why the Pandaren population had not grown much for thousands of years was due to the heavy losses of young adults in resisting the Mantis Shrimp. The tens of thousands of elite soldiers stationed on Serpents Spine were all young adults. There were also tens of thousands of young adults stationed in the training grounds, accounting for more than half of the Pandaren's young adult population.
If half of the young adults could be recalled, the Pandaren population would certainly increase. This way, after a few hundred years of recuperation, the Pandaren would be able to grow stronger.
Gale asked, "If the Pandaren have any ideas, they can also speak them directly."
Shadow Master immediately became serious upon hearing this. Although Gale offered a lot of help, the necessary conditions still needed to be stated.
"Besides the Mogu, the Hozen, Jinyu, and Yaungol are our allies in Pandaria. Please allow them to also join the alliance."
Gale nodded, "Yes, but they must also bear corresponding responsibilities. Even if it's symbolic, they must send troops to join the allied army to fight the enemy."
Shadow Master: "Please rest assured about this. Although their populations are relatively small, they do not lack the determination to fight the enemy. If you hadn't dealt with the Sha Demon, their reinforcements would have reached Vale of Eternal Blossoms in a few more days."
Gale gestured for Hydross and Master Maolin to revise the alliance, then gestured to Shadow Master to continue speaking.
Shadow Master: "The disaster over a thousand years ago caused us to lose our emperor. So I am very concerned that you might still engage in actions like abusing Arcane. After all, if such a thing happens again, we don't have another emperor to lose."
"Understood!" Gale said, "We also share this concern, so we will exchange envoys with our allies. Envoys can strengthen communication between us and also monitor us to fulfill our duties and not do anything to harm the world."
Shadow Master was a bit surprised. Although the envoy measure seemed useless, it could help them better understand what was happening with their allies. As long as everyone fulfilled their responsibilities, it could indeed prevent many crises. Moreover, if one party failed to fulfill its responsibilities, it could be reported back through the envoy, thereby raising vigilance.
Gale said, "According to our principle of exchanging envoys, we will send one envoy each to the Pandaren, Hozen, Jinyu, and Yaungol. And you four parties need to send envoys separately to the eight cities of the Kaldorei Empire: Sky City, Nordrassil, Stormwind City, Vashjir, Twin Ports, Dalaran, Sunrise Harbor, and Auberdine. This way, you will monitor all the territories of the Kaldorei Empire. If a problem arises in any area, it can not only be reported back to you, but also help us discover some potential threats."
Shadow Master said admiringly, "Your Majesty, you have considered everything very thoroughly. I have no other ideas."
After both sides drafted the alliance, Gale looked at the Cloud Serpent Rider Squadron training in the sky.
"As allies, I would like to exchange some Cloud Serpent with you."
Shadow Master was stunned for a moment, "Cloud Serpent are the kin of August Celestial Yu'lon, we do not have the right to exchange them."
"Then could you introduce me to August Celestial Yu'lon? If I can exchange for some Cloud Serpent, I will be greatly indebted."
Shadow Master didn't know why Gale was so persistent, but refusing Gale right after forming an alliance felt a bit awkward.
"Alright!"
Gale left Metri at Mogushan Palace to build the portal and formulate a troop increase plan. Only then did he take Hydross, the Primal Turtle, and Shadow Master to Qinglong Temple.
The architecture of Pandaria made Gale feel especially close. He explored every place they visited.
Shadow Master was internally anxious. The Zandalar Troll were resurrecting the Thunder King, so why didn't they quickly advance to stop the Troll Army?
Gale offered an explanation: "There's no such thing as being on guard against a thief for a thousand days if they're only a thief for a thousand days. If we don't let the Zandalar Troll resurrect the Thunder King, then they will think we are afraid of the Thunder King and will always dwell on that. But if they resurrect the Thunder King, and we then eliminate the Thunder King, the Zandalar Troll will recognize reality and settle down."
"But, that's the Thunder King..."
"So what if he's the Thunder King? He's still dead."
Although Shadow Master felt that Gale's words made sense, he always felt that something was not quite right.
